Posting here because I can't post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179135.40

I withdrew 11btc at 5:34 and still don't even see the transaction in blockchain.info or blockexplorer.com.

Is anyone else having trouble with last minute withdrawals from bitfloor?

Same. I withdrew my BTC half an hour ago and I've got nothing so far. Can't believe this happens the day i switch from gox.

I just traded to btc to get my funds out of there...if btc crashes between then and when I get them at gox I'm not gonna be happy

Can't even access my account now  :(

Just withdraw all my BTC a few minutes ago. Bitcoin-qt just popped up a minute, and now I'm waiting to confirm. Got an email from Bitfloor saying I withdrew.

No funds have been halted for me.

I'm hoping the delay is just them having to get all their BTC off cold wallets to handle the extra withdrawals. Should have kept my withdrawal as pending status if that was the case though.

This happened the day I decided to buy bitcoins for the first time. Hope you guys get your btc, unforunately, my funds are in usd on the site, did'nt have time to trade to btc. I hope i just didn't loose $200...

USD is safe on US soil. If you lost BTC, then you aren't getting any help.

Great.  left my money on their for a day and this happens...

update for mine, the transaction is searchable now...should get a confirmation soon.

I just posted a similar story here:

I'll post back with an update.

Safe?  How so?

Just curious, since I had no warning (the banner on the page didn't "get my attention", IF it was even there).  I sold my BTC about an hour before they shut down.  Next thing I know I'm logging in to see if my ACH option had been set up yet (waiting on the 2-3 days to set it up), only to see they have shut down.  Sucks, big time.   :-(

gox sucks but at least it's up

2.5+ hours since Bitfloor shows my transfer as completed (Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:38:15 GMT) still no sign of funds in the block chain. No response to my email to support as of yet.

Given the circumstances, it's possible they got inundated and are working through a backlog. I remain hopeful.

Upon considering it, it seems likely that the delay is caused by the transferring of funds from their cold wallet. We'll see.

Too bad I just had a wire credited today and had not even purchased coins with it yet...
My balance there is in USD

I initiated mine at 5:30EDT It's just now showing up 2 confirmations...looks like everything is processing, just slowly.

hummm, i signed up a few days ago, but i'm glad i didn't deposited anything and decided to give a try first with a bitstamp deposit

bitfloor settle any of this?

This is so fishy. I really hope this does not turn out to be a scam. I opened my bitfloor account yesterday and this afternoon moved all my coins there. If they saw this coming, which I'm sure they did, they should have not allowed the creation of new accounts.  >:(

I received my bitcoins from BitFloor. The delay was around 3 hrs.  It came from a wallet with ~2,700 BTC. I expect everyone else will receive their coins shortly.

Thank you BitFloor. It was good while it lasted. You'll be missed here.

Glad you got your coins. I guess we can take this as a positive sign they are not trying to take our money and run. Still wondering if everyone will get their USD back.

Why is everyone hate'n on Gox, seems to be the go to , to avoid issues like this?

Maybe because Gox suspended trading for an hour during the huge price drop last week? Take into consideration their market share and that's currency manipulation if you ask me.

I maybe Nieve bhere being new and all but it would seem keeping bitcoins if you are based out of the US is a huge risk in a very volatile market. Why not flip each bitcoin for guaranteed backed usd cash regardless of the market rate. That's just my philosophy to mitigate risk?

For instance i know the rate used to be above 200 usd then it cut in half last week when i jumped in at 120 then it fell to 50 then back up to 90s at the time of this post. I wouldn't horde btc. If i was able to flip 1 a week even at the price of 90 usd then move that to my say Roth IRA you release all the risk. Are people really buying these low and holding them hoping the value goes back up and selling them high? What if you were holding on to a 100 BTC would you not rather take the 90 guaranteed then to risk it all being worth zero as a possibility hours later? 

What?  ???

Nobody is talking about hoarding BTC. We are talking about the collapse of a BTC exchange with approximately 4% of the market.

Looks like Bitfloor permanently shutdown. Oh well, my favorite exchange is now gone. :'(

I had $0.75 left tied up in there.

I may have gotten lucky!

I had started the ACH process on Monday, looks like it just got finished overnight as I now have that option in my account.  So I went ahead and moved my USD to my checking account.

Will know in a couple days if it went through.

Started the verification process yesterday and was approved today. (knock on wood) I hope I get my money. Another positive sign bitfloor is trying to do the right thing.

And now I'm wondering when I'll see it...


:-(

these exchanges will have to do better to keep customers.

What are you talking about?  Keep what customers?  BitFloor has permanently ceased all operations and is working on returning everyone's non-bitcoin deposits.

Still no change from the last note on the website.  Anyone heard anything?

And I still don't have my money.  :-(

I logged in some days ago to try and withdraw (ACH) my $0.75. But since it's under a dollar, so it wouldn't let me (not like I really care anyway). They haven't contacted me, and it hasn't show up in my bank yet. That's all I know thus far.

old post, but just wanted to say, thanks for the heads up on Libertybit.  0.5% is a lot nicer than cavirterx's 3% per trade :(

And it looks like they are still waiting on the bank, straight off their website:

At least there is a little progress:
